We have been at war since 9/11 and before. War is unpleasant and unwanted and we certianly did not want it, but it was brought to us. When they tried to bomb the towers a decade ago we did very little and see what they eventually did. If we would have been stronger before then the tragedy of 9/11 may not have happened.
We did not start this war, we are a convenient enemy for those building power across the world. We use to hate the USSR here in the US, because it was convenient to have an enemy. The same is true now for people who hate the US.
I don't necesarily like how Bush is handling things, but I do feel that the US needs to be stong and decisive. We appear too soft to the rest of the world. They do not respect us when we are weak.
Now you may ask what the terrorist have to do with Iraq. Perhaps they are just a convenient enemy to have right now, or perhaps there is a connection. There is evidence linking Al Queda to Iraq but it is no "smoking gun". There is a ship quietly roaming the oceans that we are tracking that may have weapons and people hidden on it (from Iraq). We just don't know and the government can not tell us everything.
All I needed to see was the photographs of the dead women and children (kurdish) that Saddam gassed to make up my mind that he needs to be stopped. Are we the right people to do it? I see no one else trying to remove him.
There is no easy answer, but none of this is easy or is suppose to be.
Just my opinion.
